Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft dismisses 3D as "future" technology

PS3 doesn't have native support for 3D. Developers have to put exact same effort in to making a Ps3 3D game as they do a 360 3D game.

The only difference is that Ps3 tells the TV which 3D format the game is using since its using the the new "frame packing" 3D signal, while users have to set the proper 3D format on the 360, which reflects their 3DTV.

Why are people quoting the 3DS???  lol

this is about home console gaming.

Reggie said it in the ninty presentation - he said it was too "expensive..... costing $'000s"

and now MS are saying it.

They are right.

Console 3d gaimg is too expensive right now...

 

The 3ds is one hell of a mighty kick in the teeth for Sony.

 

Tell me how does MS' Balls taste? Honestly dude the amount of spin and damage control you do for MS is frightening. I've been seeing you and selnor do nothing but spin for MS over and over this past week and it's sickening.

 

On Topic: MS is just afraid that after that Failfest that was their conference that Kinect will actually fail. And fail hard it will.

well I wouldn't take his word for it, because Microsoft has already said they have shown interest in 3D gaming (atleast from what I've read) and when they said "1080P is impossible on consoles" it ended up being added into the 360.

So who knows.. when the PS3 launched 1080p tv's were $3000 plus, today they are fairly cheap, so I suspect 3D tv's will follow suit.. and sony is going to have the only console with native 3D games.

As for the 3DS being cheaper than $149, if that happens then it will sell like hot cakes, but I have a feeling there is a reason nintendo didn't announce the price today.. it's not cheap to make at the moment.


When PS3 launched, 1080p TV's were available in UK for £1200. About $2200. 

However right now there is like 2 3d TV models available. For over £2000. It will be along time before 3dTV's are at the mass affordable £500-£700 range in the UK.



don't forget ms also said hdmi and hd-based disk format was not needed and look what happened there ms tried hd-dvd and they have adopted hdmi, if 3d is successful ms will eat their own words and will have to adapt it to keep up.



it's the future of handheld

The 3DS will be cheaper than Kinect though and that's the funny part.

Lol, I want what this kid is smoking.

Kinect is already supposed to be cheaper than the DSi/DSi XL... How do you figure a brand new and advanced 3DS is gonna be cheaper? LOL!



@OP

Crysis 2 releases on 360 this year in full 3d 720p.

So Obviously 360 will have it. Just not fully endorsed by M$ probably until next christmas. When TV's will begin to get close to mass affordable prices.

Lol, you sure seem like the person to talk about having a company's balls in their mouth.

OT:  The 3D available on Sony's console right now is so aweful it isn't worth it.  I tried Killzone 3 and GT5 in 3D today and both took major graphical hits and the 3D effect was so weak I didn't even really notice it.

Really which company's balls have been in my mouth? I'll be the first to admit im a Sony fan. But I call it like I see it. Nintendo was hands down the best company at E3. Sony's conference was mediocre and inferior to last years and this in part had to do with the leaks. Microsofts were horrid, awful and just embarrasing to watch. But he called it a great conference. Selnor claimed MS won E3.

I can see past the hardcore only image people on the net rate these conferences by. M$ achieved exactly what they aimed for . Promoting casual play.
